    INTRODUCTION The RCOM-100 is a Globalstar satellite telephone for aviation. It is housed in an ARINC 600 2 MCU enclosure. The RCOM-100 is designed to provide voice and data communication in an avionics application. The voice connection is established through a standard TIP/RING interface. The RCOM-100 can be connected to any standard telephone handset that complies with EIA/TIA-464B and TIA/EIA/IS-470-B.

    There are 2 cables with TNC connectors on both ends and all appear to be the same. Once the antennas and RCOM-100 locations have been verified to meet the above restrictions the installation can proceed. For mounting location in the Cessna 180 series aircraft refer to drawing ENG-5021. The shown locations for Antenna, and RCOM-100 comply with the requirements listed above.

    4 Barry Mount vibrations isolators and the mounting holes and the screws to be used. The ENG-4985 drawing shows the RCOM-100 in the mounting tray with dimensions. Page 2 of ENG-4985 shows the RCOM-100 center of gravity. Prepare the mounting location to provide a good electrical bond between the mounting tray and the airframe.

    Prepare the mounting holes and secure the equipment. Refer to the picture above (RCOM-100 and VC28 Mounting). The VC28 is just to the left of the RCOM-100 and is mounted to the equipment shelf. Route Coax Cables for Tx and Rx: Refer to Drawing ENG-5021 to see Coax routing location.
  • Page 12: Wiring The Rcom-100, Vc28, Pta-12

    Refer to wire routing on drawing ENG-5021. Route wires from the back of the aircraft at the RCOM-100 along the right side of the aircraft and below the doorframe to the area behind the control panel where the wires connect to the audio panel and PTA-12. Assured that the cables are secured and avoid routing near any control cables or moving surfaces.

    8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, hardware handshaking, with EIA/TIA RS-232 standard signal levels. The data port in the RCOM-100 is wired to a DB9 connector and is intended for use by only approved computing devices in the aircraft. If the data port is used by an approved device, the instructions below define the data port capabilities and requirements.
  • Page 15: System Testing

    Move the aircraft out of any hanger or enclosed area so the antenna has a clear view of the sky. The RCOM-100 is taken off hook by selecting “TEL” on the audio panel. After selecting “TEL” there will be a dial tone. Press the “Hook” switch on the PTA-12 then dial the number to place a call.
